Authors: Valenti, Toni
Abstract: This study presents a critical perspective of historical accounts regarding settler and Indigenous
population health on Manitoulin Island, Ontario, between the years 1869-1940. Early literature,
including Jesuit missionary accounts and local historical records are re-examined through a
contemporary decolonial lens to reframe Indigenous health transitions in a colonial setting, and
from an under-represented viewpoint. This study utilizes qualitative research design, critical
historical analysis, and literature informed by contemporary postcolonial theory to contextualize
historic and present day health data and help facilitate a new, more inclusive health narrative.
Throughout this research, diet, accidental deaths, and infectious disease narratives will be
addressed and critiqued as a way to distance health realities from early historical accounts
published by colonial forces. In conclusion, this research addresses how historical data records
Indigenous health, and demonstrates that forces of colonialism contributed to settler-dominated
health narratives in the historical record.2016-05-24T00:00:00ZArchaeological Theme Parks, Public Archaeology, and Living Museums: Prospects for the Upper Great Lakes RegionJulig, Patrickhttps://zone.biblio.laurentian.ca/handle/10219/1612008-03-30T06:00:08Z1999-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Archaeological Theme Parks, Public Archaeology, and Living Museums: Prospects for the Upper Great Lakes Region
Authors: Julig, Patrick
Abstract: The development and management of heritage sites, including prehistorical and historical archaeological sites, trading posts and aboriginal traditional-use sites, is of interest to governments for their potential in the fields of tourism, youth employment and economic development. In Canada, the issues of rights, ownership and management decisions for such sites are still in contention as multiple cultures (Aboriginal, French, English) may
have occupied and used these sites either successively or concurrently. The First Nations often have some claim to these sites as they are of the original culture, but the government ministries at national and provincial levels maintain some control via heritage legislation. Increasingly, the First Nations are exercising their claim to a voice in the development of such heritage resources, and co-management agreements appear to be the most successful
arrangements. Examples of successfully co-managed projects will be evaluated with respect to future development in the cultural heritage sector and the prospects for a World Heritage site designation in the Great Lakes region will be examined.1999-01-01T00:00:00Z
